Something of this kind - A disk cache of *source-registry* - is my preference
de jour.
It’s trivial to dump the *source-registry* to a file and reload it. My
hack here along those lines is almost nothing more than a list of
pathnames.
The code which builds the source registry fascinates my inner archeologist;
I wouldn’t want to write that in bash.
It is easier to explain to users that there is one disk cache, v.s. N.

I often have very long running lisp processes. So I need to
do exactly that via asdf:clear-source-repository etc.
Who knows when to update/rebuild the disk cache? Sometimes
only the developer. But quicklisp knows when it (un)installes things.
I’d be tempted to update the disk cache when that happens.
